Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground.
General Larry Platt transcended the age gap and the race gap in one single, self-expressive swoop.
And it seems that the control heads over at Idol thought they were airing just another blooper audition, but... they got it wrong.  Thanks to the web, Larry Platt's Idol gaff has turned into a viral sensation.

Blog Work Jan 28

Pushing my way to a complete overhaul of the blog site that I started with.  Blogger only gives you a little over 10 blog templates to choose from, so I needed to dig in and experiment.  I've spent the last 2 days working on xml and css designing and incorporating them into a blog.  I tried searching for free blog templates on the web, but nothing seemed to say "Man Cave".  So, as of right now I've tweaked enough of the site to let it sit as is for a bit.  Now I will turn my attention to grabbing some relevant content from news stories and sites and posting them.  My thoughts are that if I can blog a good amount it will help raise my ranking, which is at NA right now.  I visited a few high placed sites this evening which brought on a feeling of inadequacy.  This had me second guessing this whole endeavor. 
Went and brought home some Bud Ices of which are making me yawn at 1:13am. 
I do need some sleep; been averaging 4 to 5 hours a night for awhile now.

Zzzzzzzz

AMAZING POOL TABLE TRICK SHOTS - The Man Cave Chronicle

man cave talent showcase
When I was young, shooting pool with my friends was one of our favorite things to do.  Well, actually in that archaic era before the entertainment world went hi tech, we didn't have many things to
do.  We had Atari, ping pong and air hockey.  Ahh, remember air hockey?

But I digress.

Today I found a video showcasing some amazing pool table trick shots that I wanted to share with you. 
If you've got 5 minutes, check it out.    
These guys are good . . .they're real good ---- especially the coke bottle trick.

Now that I think about it, if I would have only practiced more, I could have really impressed the chicks with tricks like these.  And won a few bucks at the bar, too.

Don't sink the 8 ball,
